I still remember bits of both of them though, so they must have been well written.I liked the way you kept changing your opinion in Secret History. And Little Friend had an amazing scene at the funeral, and in the polluted Water Tower. Otherwise I wouldn't really want to read them again, too intense to revisit.

There was a bit in Secret History where narrator is just so cold in his rented apartment..and is rescued by one of the villains - slightly didn't ring true, why didn't he just buy some more blankets? Oh and the bit with the tulips.

I really liked the Secret History, but this is about the third time I've started the Little Friend and not been able to get into it. Partly cos the print is sooooooooo small in my paperback (used to reading on my kobo now, which is much larger ). Is it not worth persevering, then?

I was given a copy of Little Friend by my brother many years ago and didn't enjoy it, I really struggled to get into the story. I do remember that I finished the book but couldn't tell you what it was about.
